S/02 · What Klavadabra fixes

Coverage

Four ways to remove retyping.

Last word, selection, automatic correction, and My Terms — the same surfaces you tune inside the app.

Fix last word

Word before cursor.

Two taps convert the last word and leave you in place.

ghbdtn → привет
2× modifier
Fix selection

Selected text.

Use it when the mistake is bigger than one word.

Pfvtybnm dct yf cdjz vtcnf → Заменить все на свои места
Automatic

After Space or Enter.

Conservative by default, adjustable per app.

My Terms

Terms and exceptions.

Learned pairs and protected words stay on this Mac.

Stats that aren't vanity

See exactly what Klavadabra saved you.

Every correction is counted on-device. We estimate saved time from saved characters divided by typing speed. Before the app has enough local data, the public baseline is 52 WPM / 260 CPM.

Local-only by design

Your typing never leaves your Mac.

Klavadabra reads keystrokes the way every Mac text utility has to — but it doesn't store them, send them, or learn from them. Counters live on disk; your words don't.

On-device only

Everything runs in a single local app process. No daemons, no helpers.

No raw typing log

We count the correction. We don't keep the keystroke. Recent examples are capped at 20 and filtered.

No cloud sync

No accounts. No servers. No "anonymized telemetry." Nothing to leak.

No ad tracking

No analytics SDK, no ads, no email captures. Crash reports are diagnostics only.

Common questions

Things people ask before downloading.

If your question isn't here, write to support@klavadabra.com. A human replies, usually inside a day.

Q/01 What macOS permissions does Klavadabra need? +
Two: Accessibility (so we can read which app has focus and replace your selection) and Input Monitoring (so the shortcut works system-wide). We never request Full Disk Access, Screen Recording, or Network. The first launch walks you through both in System Settings.
Q/02 Does Klavadabra log what I type? +
No. Counts and aggregates live on disk — the actual keystrokes don't. The Impact dashboard's "recent examples" panel is local, capped at 20 entries, and filters sensitive-looking text. You can clear it from the Impact stats controls.
Q/03 Which languages besides EN ↔ RU are supported? +
EN ↔ RU is the focus and what we've tuned the auto-fix model on. Layout-only conversion also works for any keyboard pair you have installed (UK, US-International, Ukrainian ЙЦУКЕН, etc.) — just turn it on under Settings → General → Layouts. Quality is best for EN/RU because we ship a Russian word-frequency dictionary.
Q/04 What counts toward the free 100 auto-fixes? +
Only fixes triggered automatically count. Manual fixes, selection fixes, and undos never count. The counter resets on the 1st of every month.
Q/05 What happens at 100 / 100 on the free plan? +
Auto-fix pauses for the rest of the month. Manual fixes keep working, unlimited. Klavadabra shows a small banner at the top of the menu bar app — you can dismiss it, or upgrade in two clicks. Nothing breaks; nothing nags you twice.
Q/06 Will Klavadabra interfere with code editors or terminals? +
By default, auto-fix is disabled in Xcode, VS Code, Terminal, iTerm, and Ghostty. Manual fixes still work if you ever want them. You can edit the disabled-app list in Settings → Apps.
Q/07 Does it work on Apple Silicon? On older Macs? +
Universal binary — runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel. Minimum macOS is 13 Ventura. The app is ~8 MB and idles around 14 MB of RAM.
